a) to evaluate and authorize the registration on the website by Users who want to use the services available;
b) to provide communication and information materials about projects and scientific research of general interest, obtained through funding from the European Commission as a result of monitoring the registered User preferences;
c) to collect and monitor Download Data of the information materials available on the site, also by means of personal data identification of those Users who downloaded these materials to create a confidential report to be sent to the European Commission;
d) to contact the Users listed on the report in order to get their opinions on the downloaded materials and request copies of any document created on the basis of the collected contents;

g) to send newsletters and information on the services offered by the Company by means of traditional contact methods, i.e. documents sent through the Postal Service and/or phone calls made by an operator or automated phone calls and similar methods (e.g. fax, e-mail, text messages etc.).
- TYPES OF PROCESSED DATA
a) Data provided voluntarily by the User
The explicit and voluntary provision of personal data by the User is essential in order to have access to certain services offered by the Data Controller through the website (for example the registration required to download information materials) and it involves the acquisition of personal data and contact details. The data collection related to the download of material from the website is necessary for the provision of the service itself by the company that receives funding from the European Commission following the submission of these pieces of information. The provision of the personal data required for those purposes is optional, but refusal to do so involves impossibility for the Company to provide the requested services: consent for the processing of these personal data is not required.
b) Navigation Data (Data deriving from User’s navigation)
The computer system in routine activities can store some of Your browsing data. These data, although not collected to be associated with Your identity, can indirectly allow Your identification through processing and association with data held by Third parties. For this reason they could be considered "personal data" according to the Privacy Code. This category of data (which includes, by way of example but not limited to, IP addresses and domain names of the User’s computer) is collected by the Data Controller for statistical purposes in anonymous form, but by means of some data processing procedures it could be possible to trace the User identification in order to ascertain any liability for crimes committed via the Website or damages against it.
c) Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on the User’s computer's browser directory when visiting certain websites.
The website uses cookies for specific and limited purposes, namely to provide easier navigation and for the purposes of internal security, of statistical analysis related to navigation and of system administration.
Session cookies allow Users to be recognized within a website so any page changes or item or data selection you do is remembered from page to page. Session cookies are temporarily stored in the computer memory only during a User’s browsing session and are automatically deleted from the User’s computer when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies remain in the browser's subfolder and are activated again once the User visits the website that created that particular cookie thus facilitating the navigation and making it faster (with the “keep me logged in” option).
Analytical cookies collect anonymous data for internal purposes with the aim of providing a better browsing experience to the User. These data help us to understand how visitors use our website, the number of visits, the most visited pages, the average duration of visits and much more, allowing us to improve the content of our website and the way it is presented. No personal information is collected about you or about your computer. All collected data are anonymous and aggregated.
On the contrary, the cookies keeping track of downloads collect personal identifying information about the User in order to create a report for the above mentioned purposes. These latter and the analytical cookies are third-party cookies, t.i. they are sent and managed by a Third Party whom the Data Controller has engaged to store User preferences and for marketing purposes.
d) Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how Users interact with website content.
Google Analytics gives us the ability to track the visitor interactions by using first-party cookies that can record information about the time and the page a User has seen, for example the URL of the page, and "remember" what a User has done on previous pages or any interactions with the website.
Google Analytics tracks and traces the website visitors IP address to identify the visitors by providing their geographical location. Google Analytics does not collect any personal information about the website Users, it reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.
Youris.com shall not use (and shall not allow any Third party to use) this Service to record, collect or upload any data that identify an individual (such as for example name, email address, IP address, billing information) or other data that can be reasonably linked to such information by Google.
You may decline cookies by deactivating them in your browser but this may prevent you from accessing
certain or all features of this website.
e) Access Center
The site also makes some "social-media" tools available to facilitate the registration of Users and their access to the services offered by the organization. Social platforms allow the User to register and log in to the site by simply using the User’s account not having to enter the required personal information manually.
The Social Network associates the User profile to the profile of the website and allows you to use your own authentication system to access the website by transferring to the site User-ID, e-mail address and profile information associated with the public profile (i.e. photos, public information, lists of friends etc.).
Youris.com collects only those data that are strictly necessary and and functional requirements for registration (i.e. name, surname, email address) and eliminates any other remaining data. The processing of the data collected from such social networks shall therefore be deemed adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed.
- OPTIONAL PROVISION OF DATA
Except for the navigation data needed to support implementation of computer and telecommunication protocols, the provision of personal data is optional and not mandatory.
Failure to provide requested personal data will however make it impossible to obtain the service requested by the User and to respond to requests.
- METHODS OF DATA PROCESSING
In addition to the data collection, the processing of your personal data may involve their recording, storage, modification, communication, cancellation.
The data processing shall be carried out by authorized personnel with the use of electronic equipment.

With regards to the personal information you provide, please note that all the necessary steps will be taken to ensure the confidentiality and security of shared data, in compliance with the provisions of the Privacy Code. In particular, we will implement all the technical, organizational, logistical and procedural security measures in line with technological developments pursuant to the Code in order to guarantee the minimum level of data protection required by the legislation in force.
